Serious Illness Medicine
Helping seniors manage complex conditions
Serious illness includes conditions that threaten a person’s lifespan, daily activities, and overall well-being, or place significant strain on caregivers.
For seriously ill patients choosing to continue with curative treatment, we prioritize improving their quality of life by addressing their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We aim to enhance their comfort, manage their symptoms, and support them in making informed choices about their healthcare options.
Personalized supportive care
We provide virtual and on-premise physician visits for people facing serious illness who want to discuss, identify, and receive supportive and palliative care in accordance with their personal goals.
